A stabbing attack on London Bridge is being treated by police as "terror-related", the Met has said.

The police said they were called to a stabbing just before 14:00.

A number of people were stabbed and one man has been shot by police, the force said.

 

Earlier, BBC reporter John McManus said he saw a fight on the bridge, with several men attacking one man. Police then arrived quickly and a number of shots were fired at the man, he said.

The Met said the circumstances surrounding the incident remained unclear but it was treating it as terror-related as a "precaution".

He also had a fake bomb tied to him. The police quite rightly shot and killed him. My sympathies go to his victims.

Its probably some poor mentally ill soul who has lost their way in life.

What a way to end up.

I hope anyone injured makes a full and speedy recovery and RIP to the dead man.

Was gonna say, at first it sounded like a lone nutter off on one.

But since they announced he was wearing a fake bomb vest it sounds like a terrorist attack by a lone nutter on one.

Confirmed as terrorist attack.  Witness 's say he was man in dark clothes with a long beard.

Looks like the police arrived pretty sharpish, which is excellent.

It seems like two of his victims have died. They are the only ones who deserve to RIP.

I don't know whether it's just me turning into a cynical old ******* but after my initial thoughts on the public who took him on,  the police who had to shoot the guy, my next thought was "it seems to have happened later this year".

[taxman 12]

Two people killed it has been confirmed.

Apparently they want to die has martyrs. By wearing a fake bomb the police have no choice but to shoot them if it looks like they are going to detonate it.
